A firewall is a security system that protects computers from attack by malicious actors and from unauthorised communication, most of which comes from the internet but can also come from the LAN. Firewalls today come as both hardware and software.
"Having a firewall is like building a wall around your computer and leaving a single gate for data from other networks to pass through. A guard at that gate checks every connection against the rules. The firewall filters data by who it's from (source), where it's going (destination) and what it's trying to do (service/port). If data looks unsafe or risky, the firewall blocks it."
Now that we know what a firewall is and how it works, let's look at its benefits. A firewall checks whether data passing through is safe by comparing it against the rules set by the administrator. If it fails even one rule, it's blocked. The final decision still rests with the administrator, though — if they allow unsafe data through, the firewall will let it pass.
As more people get online, it's like stepping into a vast world where we can't know every person or every website. That's why it pays to put up some protection. A firewall is a front line that filters out many bad actors before they can get into your computers and cause damage.

Yes. Most attacks are automated scans for vulnerabilities that don't care how big you are. A firewall filters unsafe connections, blocks ransomware, controls staff internet use and stores logs as the law requires.
A standard router just connects you to the internet with basic protection. FortiGate inspects traffic down to the application level, with intrusion prevention, antivirus, web filtering, VPN for remote working and usage reports you can review later.
It depends on the number of users, internet speed and the features you want. As a guide, the 40F suits 5–20 users, the 60F/61F 20–50 users, the 80F/81F 50–100 users, and the 100F larger organisations. We assess and recommend free of charge before quoting.
Start about 30–45 days before expiry to allow time for budget approval and purchasing. We notify contract clients in advance with a quotation so there's never a gap in protection.
Yes. Fortinet-certified engineers handle policy design, VPN setup, web filtering, log storage and testing before handover, and provide configuration documentation and basic admin training.
Tell us straight away. We diagnose remotely first; if the hardware is faulty we handle the Fortinet RMA and, under the MA terms, supply a spare with your existing configuration while you wait for the replacement.
